Once the rules in a Ruleflow are modeled, analyzed and tested, they are ready to be deployed to Progress Corticon Server as a Decision Service.

There are a number of ways you can deploy a Decision Service. You can deploy Decision Service in-process or as a Web Service for either Java or .NET. In this tutorial, you will learn how to deploy a Decision Service as a Web Service for Java.

Corticon Server is a set of core Java classes that comprises all the functionality required to host and manage Decision Services. These Java classes are deployed on an application server. This tutorial uses the installed Tomcat application server.

To deploy a Decision Service as a Web Service, you need to perform the following tasks:

1. Prepare Vocabulary for deployment
2. Deploy the Ruleflow as a Decision Service to Corticon Server
3. Test if the Decision Service can be accessed as a Web Service

In this tutorial, you will learn how to perform these tasks.

This tutorial is designed for hands-on use. We recommend that you follow along in Corticon Studio and Corticon Server, using the instructions and illustrations that are provided.
